The Other McCain, diagnoses the new paranoia sweeping the left
Ever since President Trump was elected, leftists have been pointing fingers at everyone and everything, screaming “white supremacist”!
It’s not just Republicans (“Fascists!”) and Trump (“Hitler!”) who have been targeted by this campaign of screeching hysteria. In their paranoid dementia, leftists now see “white supremacy” everywhere, as if they are surrounded by a continuous Klan rally. The Washington Post now sees “white supremacy” in children’s cartoons:
“The first thing to understand about ‘The Lion King’ is that it isn’t in any way about lions, or any other animal species,” the column reads, adding: “As in every fable, a variety of cute and cuddly figures stand in for human societal organization. Mapping our internalized social hierarchies onto the pristine and ‘neutral’ world of the animal kingdom renders these power dynamics natural, common-sense and desirable.”
Then we come to the money quote…
“But by using predator-prey relationships to allegorize human power, the film almost inevitably incorporates the white supremacist’s worldview, one in which some groups of people are inherently superior to others.”
The piece goes on to explain that this is all really about Trump…
“Doubling down on Disney’s historical obsession with patriarchal monarchies, it places the audience’s point of view squarely with the autocratic lions, whose Pride Rock literally looks down upon all of society’s weaker groups — a kind of Trump Tower of the African savanna.”See? Popular cartoons beloved by millions of children are actually about “patriarchal monarchies” and “the white supremacist’s worldview.”
They say still waters run deep, well crazy waters have no bottom
